Law: DuneMud Player Rules

Like any other place, DuneMud has rules that need to be followed. This
is a list of rules every player is expected to follow during their stay
on the mud.

1. Conduct: A loose code of conduct is expected to be followed. Type
'help conduct' and 'help harassment' to see what we expect of you
conductwise.

2. Bugs: Reinforcement of bug abuse is found under help bug. You are
not to abuse bugs (duh).

3: Cheating: See above, and 'help cheating'. Cheating is not legal.

4: Quests: While quests are no longer mandatory, under no circumstances
is info about quests to be distributed. Also included is quest aid,
quest help, quest hints, etc. The quests are meant to be figured out by
the quester alone.

5: Wizards: Do not bug wizards for items, experience, stat increases,
title changes, alignment changes, money, etc. They are not to alter your
character in any way. If a wizard speaks to you, he or she probably has
a good reason, and a prompt response is appreciated. Ignoring requests
or orders from wizards will result in the assumption that you are running
a script while you are not at the keyboard.

6: Advertising: As an act of common courtesy, please do not advertise
other muds you play. You may ask for IPs, but do not advertise. You
would not like it if we logged on to your mud and did the same thing.

7: Multiple Characters: You may only have one character on at a time,
including linkdead characters. If you want to have another on, you must
log the first one off. There is no excuse for a double login! More than
two characters are allowed per person, but there are restrictions within
an ip: no money transfers are allowed! This includes transfer through a
third party, dropped money, etc., and will be punished by a two month
suspension and a deletion of all solaris for both players on the first
offense. Characters played by the same person are not to help the
other in any way, even if the aforementioned 'one character logged on
at a time rule' is not violated. This includes passing money or
equipment between characters (via other players or the ground).

8: Player Swapping: A single character cannot be played by more than one
person. This also includes having one person start a character and then
handing it off to a second person for playing.

10: Idling is not illegal. Idling with antiidle triggers is. (It
violates the rules on macros/triggers described in 'help cheating'.)

11. It is illegal to discriminate a player by his alts. You can ask a
player who are his alts, but it is his right not to answer. YOU MAY NOT
PUNISH A PLAYER WHO REFUSES TO TELL YOU WHO HIS ALTS ARE.

12. There is no limit on the number of characters a person may have on
Dune. As such suiciding a character is an action which results in the
permenant loss of all information relating to that character. Mailing
Admin about retrieving former characters gfiles and the like will be
frowned upon. So don't ask.

It is impossible to include every possible scenario. There may be times
when a wizard may feel you violated the SPIRIT of the rules, and he/she
will warn you. You are not to repeat those actions again.

These rules are simple to follow. Not following these rules will result
in bad things happening to you, including, but not limited to, loss of
levels/stats, character deletion, character banishment, site banishment,
and physical or mental anguish.

If these rules are unclear to you, feel free to mail 'law' with your
questions.
